💜 How does this work

Instead of loading it's own textures, the file you created takes the exact textures from the original file on all of the swatches.

That is why it also only works if the original file is in the game too.

💜 What you need

Your package you want to have in multiple categories

Sims 4 Studio

💜 Tutorial

1.Place the package you want to clone inside the Mods folder of Sims 4 Studio, NOT YOUR ACTUAL GAME For me it's: D:\Dokuments\Sims 4 Studio\Mods

2. Open the package file in Sims 4 Studio and extract the catalog thumbnail. Cloning it will not keep the thumbnail so if you want it, you need to add it manually. Export it as .png.

3. Go back to S4 Studio home and select "Create CAS Standalone"

4. Under "Content" select "Custom" and select all swatches of your package by Shift-Clicking the thumbnail. Then press "Next" and save your package under whatever name you want.

5. Import the thumbnail

6. Under Categories change "Outfit Type" to whatever you want and press "Apply to all swatches"

7. Save your package.

8. Now take both your package from the S4 Studio mods folder, the original package and and the one you just created and copy them into your actual game mods folder. For me it's: D:\Dokumens\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods As you can see, the file you just made is significantly smaller.

9. Check in-game if it worked. Yup.

If your Sim has a white and red texture overlay with question marks, you probably forgot to place the original file back into the game.

💜 How do I add the textures back in?

If you want your new package to work on its own again, do this:

1.Make sure the original file you used for cloning is still inside the S4 Studio mods folder

2. Open your cloned package

3. Go to "Tools - Modding - Embed all externally references resources (CAS)"

4. Now your Warehouse tab will be full again, the file will work on its' own and the filesize will be around the same size of the original package.
